3. Further questions to consider:

a) Did you already start your business, or are you already registered as an entrepreneur?

-If yes, You might cover your stay abroad under the reason “business travel”, please contact your health and other insurances and clarify this and what will be covered.

b) Will your planned activities deal with particular risks?

– Ask the Host Entrepreneur or his intermediary organisation to find out what is insured by the Host’s company or if any further insurance is required by yourself, to cover those risks.
